Jewett i'm the Door.

Ex-Governor Adams assess
ment in White Pine county was
raised by the Board of Equalization
SIP, 800. The News, says, Jewett
appeared in person and delivered
one of his most eloquent and class
ical speeches, in which he set forth
the injustice of the raise. but it was
no use, the Board was obdurate
and ordered that the assessment
stand as raised.
The APPEAL has frequently
claimed that the oily Tewett was
not in the habit of paying all his
taxes. 1t looks as if he would come
pretty near doing it this year, how
ever. 1t must have been quite evil
dent to the Commissioners of White
Pine that Adams made a false re-
turn of his property.

The report comes from Washing

Commission, which seems to be
more expensive the nbenefclal, will
request a deficiency appropriation
of $50 900 of Congress as soon as it
convenes. The fourth section of the
act by which the Commission was
created, is the only one in which
the people of the interior are in
terested, and that has been nnllifi-
ed by the Commission. Therefore,
unless the act is amended by de-
priving tile Commission of the pow
err to nullify it, by suspending the
long and short haul clause, it makes
no particular difference to the local
tiles the act was designed to benefit,
whether the Commission succeeds
in getting an appropriation. Com

on the part of the Congress to Sc

The APPEAL takes the liberty IL
making al. extract from a private

sea of human figures thronging the

drums, tambourines, gongs and

stage were sections of "a great or
gan which began to peal loudly
toward the end of the performance.
Its deep diapason was vafiated up
on by an orchestra of about thirty
musicians, seated on the stage, who
rolled out a selection from Tam

of Wagner's great masterpiece, there
was lull of a moment, when the
aerial instruments took up the air
until the place resounded with roll
ing drums, crashing gongs and the
bell-like notes of a great central
piece by which the theme. of the
composition was held all through.
The sight of these instruments,
hung in mid air, not touched by
human fingers, all sending forth.
their notes in concert, was one to
cause those not versed in electrical
science to marvel greatly.
Then came a grand electrical
apotheosis. The lights were low
cred, the organ pealed out, the
electrical instruments rang and the
orchestra roared. Sheets of light
ming played across the room and
mimic thunder crashed in the inter-
walls. Hundreds of mysterious eff
fects were produced throughout the
theater, electricity in every case
playing a prominent part. Then of
a sudden, there was wierd illumi-
nation, pans of red fire suspended
above the auditorium being ignited
by electricity. In the midst of the
great blaze of red light the orches-
ira broke into the "Star Spangled
